How to access text widget from Get Child At of button in widgets

Hello,
I am trying to build a Skip LVL button.

In the main menu, you select a level and you can play it or skip it. When you decide to skip it, I want to change the text in the selected button to SKIPPED and change the color of the button.

However, I am unable to access the text of a button.

I go as follows:

  • you click a button (one of 50), the button is added to Selected Button Array (Array is Cleared first)
  • Then I have an Array with a button in it and I am trying to get its text:

get text
get text1054Ă—282 51 KB

I can print the text (get accessible text), but I don’t know how to edit it.
I am trying to Cast to Editable text but that’s not it. Cast to text layout widget… also not it.

Any idea how to get access to the text element in the button and be able to edit it?
Thank you in advance

You can create such an event in the widget you want to access.

GetAccessibleText is not the right node to use here.
The result of GetChildAt is a generic type Widget and it won’t let you access TextBlock-specific methods.
Cast the result to TextBlock and you should be able to use GetText/SetText on it.
